I Came to a World Where the Concept of Chastity is Reversed, so I Tried to Change my Job to a Playboy, but the Interference is Intense. Please Help me. - Chapter 203: Lunch

Chapter 203: Lunch

After the King’s Game, we didn’t continue with Shigure or Sakura and headed downstairs to prepare lunch.

I’m a bit disappointed, but taking on Shigure and Sakura now would tire me out, and since I promised to cook with Airi, I can’t waste energy here.

Airi, all sticky from the game, took a quick shower and is now fresh and clean.

You’d think girls take forever in the bath, but without washing their hair, it’s pretty quick.

“Phew, all refreshed!”

“Thanks, Airi. That felt amazing.”

“Did I gain some sultry charm?”

“Sultry… Well, scooping and drinking from your cleavage was kinda sultry.”

“So I’m an adult now!”

“Does sultry mean adult?”

“Feels like it, right?”

“Isn’t it just being a naughty big sister? Like Yurika.”

“Yurika-sensei’s an adult, so it fits, right?”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

“Yuki, Airi, stop the dumb talk and start cooking lunch.”

My silly chat with Airi got me scolded by Shigure.

“We’ll chill here.”

“You sure you don’t wanna help?”

“I can’t cook, so I’ll wait here.”

Sakura, Sarina, and Shino stay in the living room.

The kitchen’s not that big, so three’s the limit.

Plus, I’m not making guests cook.

So, today it’s me, Shigure, and Airi cooking.

“I’m excited. A guy’s homemade cooking?”

“Yeah, I’d pay to eat Yuki-kun’s food!”

“Hehe, big sister’s taught him well, so his skills are solid!”

Yup, on weekdays we take turns cooking, and I’ve learned a lot from perfect big sister Sakura.

My cooking used to be rough guy food, but Sakura’s guidance has leveled me up.

“So, what’re we making?”

“It’s lunch, so something simple. Noodles or rice, which do you want?”

“Rice!”

“Alright, rice it is.”

“Yuki, we’ve got enough pork belly or chicken breast for everyone.”

Shigure checks the fridge and lists what we have.

“Got it. Let’s do pork ginger.”

“Nice! I love pork ginger!”

“Shigure, you handle the rice. Airi, you’re on pork ginger. I’ll make miso soup.”

“Got it.”

“Roger!”

With the plan set, we put on aprons and start cooking.

I lend Airi Umi’s apron.

While giving Airi instructions, I dissolve the miso.

Airi mixes the seasonings as directed, grabs an onion from the fridge, microwaves it briefly, and starts cutting.

“Don’t onions sting your eyes? It’s not too bad.”

“That happens with dull knives. Also, chilling them in the fridge or warming them slightly in the microwave stops the stinging stuff from vaporizing.”

“Ohh! I thought everyone cooking onions wore goggles!”

“Haha, that’s one way to do it.”

Airi finishes cutting the onion, fries the pork, adds the onion and sauce, and a sizzle fills the kitchen.

“Wow! Smells amazing! So hyped!”

My miso soup’s done, and Airi’s pork ginger is finished too.

“Done!”

The aroma alone tells me it’s a success.

“Nice job, Airi.”

I pat Airi’s head affectionately.

“Oh… You remembered?”

“Of course. You nailed the cooking again.”

“Nishishi! Thanks to you, Yukki!”

Airi squints happily as I pat her head, but then a thud hits me from the side.

“Yuki, what about me?”

Seeing Airi get patted, Shigure wants some too?

I pat Shigure’s head, and she clings to me like a cat, rubbing her face into my chest.

As we’re doing this—

Ring ring, ring ring!

Someone’s phone goes off.

“Hm? That’s me… Hello? Oh, Shiori-san! Yeah, yeah… What… No way…”

The caller’s Fukuya Shiori, Naru’s sister.

“I’m supposed to negotiate? Probably impossible. The school was insane! Yeah… Hmm… He’s right here, wanna talk directly? …Okay, I’ll pass it. Yukki, Shiori-san’s on the phone!”

I take the phone from Airi.

“Hello, Oyodo Yuki here.”

“Hi, Yuki-kun! The magazine you’re in is selling like crazy!”

“Haha, that’s great.”

“Yup! So, just one more time, could you do another photo shoot?”

“Another shoot…”

I glance at Shigure, who makes an X with her arms, signaling no.

“Uh… Sorry, I’m fine with it, but my wife says no…”

“I see. Can I talk to your wife?”

“Alright… Shigure, she wants to talk to you.”

Shigure takes the phone and starts talking with Shiori.
